It’s been nearly four months since legendary broadcaster Bill Hillgrove retired from his gig as the play-by-play man for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hillgrove, who announced his retirement on February 29, spent 30 years with the team, so his departure from the role has opened up a significant hole on the radio side of things for the Black and Gold.
So far, it’s not a hole that the Steelers have been quick to fill, raising some concerns as training camp and the preseason draws near.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Tim Benz, at least one candidate outside of the area is under consideration for the play-by-play job, though familiar faces and voices in Bob Pompeani and Rob King are logical succession plans if the Steelers were to go down that path.
